The number of clients with whom measurements have been carried out on the day/in the week of measuring.

Clients who receive terminal care or are suffering from cancer measured with • Clients whose unintentional weight loss has already been established by weighing (indicator 4.1a) • Clients who, on the day / in the week of measuring, could not or would not be asked about this • Clients with whom has been agreed in the care (treatment) / life plan that systematic examination concerning weight loss for the benefit of the Quality Framework will not be carried out.

Measured by the organisation itself every year with established registration questions.

Every organisational Unit provides a publication of its performance for the indicators for Responsible care via the Annual Document Social Responsibility (CIBG) and via the Quality Card at www.kiesbeter.nl (RIVM). Performance is also reported at an aggregated, anonymous level in an annual, nation-wide report from the Steering Committee.
